In this book, which accompanies the Whitney Museum's 1997 Diebenkorn retrospective exhibition, the most comprehensive survey
of his work ever held, Diebenkorn emerges as an artist who restored to late modernism the sense of the sublime that seemed
to fade with each successive decade after World War II. In the 1940s and early 1950s, he forged an impressive abstract vocabulary
- and then suddenly abandoned it in 1955 for a representational mode that encompassed still lifes, landscapes, figures, and
interiors. Along with painters David Park and Elmer Bischoff, he established what has come to be known as the Bay Area Figurative
School

"This book considers American art as a response to political, social, and economic conditions. It opens at the start of the
century, when boundaries between high art and all that simmered beneath it were collapsing. In these pages, we are able to
see the dramatic changes that characterized art in the first half of the century. We discover why the New York Armory Show
of 1913 was such a shock to many artistic sensibilities; how Alfred Stieglitz and his circle drove photography toward modernism,
a movement that would eventually include all the arts; and how the Depression (and the WPA) shaped a generation of artists,
leaving a rich, public legacy in photography, painting, literature, and architecture. By the century's midpoint, the artistic
output of this still young nation was astonishing."--Jacket

The flowering of American folk art, 1776-1876 by Jean Lipman(

"Interest in American folk art has increased steadily over recent years and is more widespread today than ever before--yet
the full scope of this tradition has never until now been published in a single volume or presented in a single exhibition.
This comprehensive book illustrates more than 400 outstanding examples produced during the period of its finest flowering.
The authors, selecting from more than 10,000 objects, have discussed and illustrated the works in four major categories: pictures,
painted, drawn and stitched; sculpture; architectural decoration; decorated household objects. The extraordinary range and
quality of American folk art are revealed by such diverse subjects as portraits, genre and religious scenes, ship figure-heads,
weathervanes, toys, tinware, tavern signs, painted furniture, quilts, and works in many other categories. Though primitive
or naïve in the sense they were fashioned by men or women who were primarily craftsmen or amateur artists rather than "fine"
artists, these objects each possess an originality, a power and a beauty that place them in the mainstream of the American
artistic tradition. In addition to the illustrations, more than 100 in color, there are brief essays on each type of object,
detailed captions for each work, biographical notes on the artists, and a selected bibliography."--Publisher's description

"The second half of the twentieth century has been a time of rapid change and accelerated cycles of creativity. In this volume,
Lisa Phillips keeps pace with the dizzying energy of these decades by focusing on the avant-garde - the artists who propelled
American art after World War II and who continually challenge our basic assumptions about what art is and what the role of
the artist should be within the turbulent social atmosphere of twentieth-century America. Sidebar essays by a variety of experts
in related fields highlight the broad cultural context - from rock 'n' roll to underground film to postmodern dance - in which
vanguard American art flourished."--Jacket

Wyeth's genius

"This volume accompanies a landmark exhibition organized by the Philadelphia Museum of Art to celebrate the centennial of
the artist's birth. It reviews the full range of Neel's paintings, from her early watercolors to the late work for which she
finally achieved renown. Three essays, by Ann Temkin, Susan Rosenberg, and Richard Flood, examine Neel's indirect presence
in her paintings, the roots of her work in the culture of the 1930s, and her portrayal of the contemporary art world. The
transcript from a roundtable discussion among Neel's sitters and a richly illustrated chronology provide much new information
on the artist's life and work."--Jacket

"The Shaker movement in America began in 1774 when Mother Ann Lee emigrated from Manchester, England, with a small group of
followers, and settled in New York State. Despite impoverished beginnings, the Shakers flourished in the early nineteenth
century, and by 1840 there were four to six thousand members living in eighteen principle communities from Maine to Kentucky.
Turning away from society, they lived in large families that were both celibate and communal. In striving for heaven on earth,
they created a visual environment of such harmony and quiet power that it continues to impress observers today, when the Shakers
have all but passed from the American scene. The many works presented in this beautiful volume reveal the Shaker commitment
to excellence in all matters. The chairs, cases of drawers, work stands, baskets, oval boxes, wheelbarrows, stoves, looms,
and even tailoring tools have a purity of form that transcends mere utility and elevates our appreciation beyond a sense of
function."--Amazon
